We are not actively seeking applications for summer 2008.
The Bernard M. Gordon Center for Subsurface Sensing and Imaging Systems (Gordon-CenSSIS),
provides the opportunity for science or engineering undergraduate
students to work at CenSSIS laboratories on research projects related
to the emerging technology of subsurface sensing and imaging systems.
These REU students have the opportunity to work at CenSSIS testbed
facilities in the areas of hyperspectral underwater imaging, medical ultrasound
and optical imaging, 3D biological imaging, and imaging of underground
objects or environmental conditions by ground-penetrating radar or electromagnetic
induction.
CenSSIS supports research thrusts in three areas:
R1: Subsurface Sensing and Modeling, R2: Physics-Based Signal
Processing and Image Understanding, and R3: Image and Data Information
Management. These thrusts are domain-crossing research efforts seeking
similar solutions for diverse problems. In addition, CenSSIS supports
four domain-specific experimental validation testbeds for solution-testing
in the underground (SoilBED), underwater (SeaBED), medical
(MedBED), and biological microscopy (BioBED) areas. REU
undergraduates would be assigned to thrust-oriented computational projects
or testbed-oriented laboratory projects.
